China Behind the Mask is not only an interesting, informative and enjoyable read but gives a thorough description of life in present-day China from the point of view of the author, an Australian English teacher, who lived in China for more than ten years. Not only does he provide a unique flavour of Chinese culture, but also presents a thorough analysis of the current political situation within China and how Chinese attitudes influence its relationships with other cultures and countries. Part travel guide, part biography, part history, this book covers many aspects of China, particularly in relation to Australian life and culture. Some entertaining comparisons are made, which illustrate the divide between West and East in considerable depth. Personal anecdotes abound, bringing the book to life and ensuring that the reader is informed and entertained in equal measure.

Greg McEnnally is an English teacher who worked in China for more than ten years, from 2002 until 2014, in quite a few different places. The main cities were Fuzhou in Fujian Province, Tongren in Guizhou Province and Chongqing. He also travelled extensively throughout the country, had many discussions with local people and read whatever he could. This book is an analysis of his experiences.
